“Life often deals you a hand you didn't choose. It's how you end up playing it to your advantage that counts.”

TREMENDO, dios es que estuvo muy bueno. Al inicio no agarraba el pedo pero estaba lo suficientemente intrigada para seguir leyendo. Me gustó mucho el mundo que presenta Kerri, la dinámica entre Emilia y Wrath fue muy interesante de leer, tiene unas frases buenísimas y Emilia me gustó mucho como protagonista.

¡¿Y ESE FINAL?! Le rezo a la frase con la que cierra el libro porque es una chingoneria *besos al chef*

“I hoped the kingdom of the wicked was ready for a vengeful queen.”

this was a fun book. it was funny, had a nice enemies to lovers and I LOVED wrath and lowk liked Emilia even tho rocks have a higher IQ than her. The plot twists were like oh! ok. nothing too crazy UNTIL THE END. the end redeemed this book. it was a solid 3 stars and im most likely inflating the rating of this but who cares it was a cute and fun book and i will continue the series.

⭐3'5⭐

Para ser el primer libro ha estado bastante bien. Creí que sería muuy introductorio y que me iba aburrir, lo cual me sorprendió bastante cuando vi que no.

Me gustó mucho y a parte es rápido de leer.

Además me ha encantado lo de la representación de los 7 pecados capitales como los 7 príncipes del infierno 10/10.

Tengo muchas ganas de leer el siguiente y ver cómo termina todo lo que se ha quedado en el aire.

3.5 ⭐️
Mainly continued reading it for Wrath since the beginning was slow and the ending felt a little rushed.

There are a lot of things on my mind but let's just focus on a few...
*So if the demons' native tongue is Latin, they came into existence during the Roman times? How can they be as old as time (I imagine they'd have to be?) IF their native tongue is Latin when Latin itself is only about 2700 years old?
*"Just eat it, oh, mighty warrior." Ugh I don't know but this 'oh' business in writing is so cringe.
*At one point Wrath actually uses a match to light a candle, A FUCKING MATCH. A prince of hell who has tremendous magic uses a fucking match to light a candle.

But I am still a sucker for anything tall and dark and deadly so count me in for the next book.

Witchy twins Emilia and Victoria who grew up living amongst humans in Sicily. Stories told by their nonna about demons, legends and spells become too real when Emilia discovers Victoria murdered. Overcome with grief Emilia need for vengeance leads her into pairing with her enemy a Prince from Hell. 
In the beginning I will admit I wasn’t too sure if I was going to finish. It started very slow for me and falling into very YA category with character/world building. Once it started to pick up speed and get more of a slow burn enemies to lovers vibe, I didn’t want to put the book down. I enjoyed the growth of Emilia and her determination even in the face of some dangerous demons. I’m intrigued to see if we dive more into Wrath backstory or even some of his POV. Looking foward to see what the series will bring.

The good first:
- The royal houses of hell were such a good idea.
- The handsome and beguiling demon princes from the different houses (each named after one of the seven deadly sins) is a high concept idea.
- Goddess-blessed witches is also a cool idea.
- I liked the surprise re: the sisters’ amulets as well as the secret about their heritage.
- The mystery surrounding the sister’s death was interesting.
- The author handled grief fairly well, especially the immediate shock parts.
- In short, it was a great premise.

Sadly:
- I found the main protagonist difficult to like or root for. She makes a lot of foolish, headstrong decisions and comes across bullheaded rather than strong. It’s easy to get frustrated with her.
- I liked the intent behind the reluctant chemistry between the two main characters… the execution, less so.

I do think if you like forbidden love or enemies to lovers romance, you might like this.
